Just a short time ago, President Biden ignored pressure from World Leaders and members of congress, and announced his goal is to get u. S. Forces out of afghanistan by his August 31 deadline. The original date agreed upon with the taliban. The president says that massive Evacuation Effort at the Kabul Airport is on pace to be completed by The End of this month. But, he is also asking for contingency plans. He also warned that the risk of an attack on u. S. Forces by an Isis Affiliate increases every day the military stays in country. And the military has increased the pace of evacuations. In the past 12 hours, u. S. And allied forces have flown more than 11,000 people out of kabul. But theres this new challenge the taliban said today, theyre no longer allowing afghans to get to the airport. Cbs Nancy Cordes is going to lead off our Coverage Tonight from the white house. Good evening, nancy. Reporter good evening, norah. The Withdrawal Deadline is now just seven days away, and the president was facing pressure from some key u. S. Allies to stay in the country just a little bit longer and keep those evacuations going. But, hes also getting pressure from the taliban, which wants him out right away. The pentagon plans to start withdrawing its 6,000 service members from kabul as early as this week, after the president announced that he intends to stick to that August 31 departure deadline. Every day were on the ground is another day we know that isisk is seeking to target the Airport And Attack both u. S. And allied forces and innocent civilians. Reporter with afghans still clamoring to get out, g7 allies urged the president this morning to push the deadline back. Here at home, congressional republicans and some democrats made the same case. Dont pick the date solve the problem. Make sure every american is out. Reporter but the president argued, the operation gets riskier all the time. Talan from leaving the country, and one taliban spokesman told Cbs Roxana Saberi that any attempt to extend the Rescue Mission would be considered a violation. So in light of that violation, it is up to our leadership to decide what to do. Reporter c. I. A. Director William Burns has been negotiating in kabul with the talibans De Facto leader, as the u. S. Military picks up the pace, evacuating 20,000 people a day from Kabuls Airport, the flights taking off every 45 minutes. That brings the total number of evacuees since midmonth to more than 70,000. We are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st. Ive asked the Pentagon And State departor plans to adjust the timetable, should that become necessary. Odonnell and, nancy, u. S. Officials have been reluctant to give us a breakdown of how many of these Tens Of Thousands of evacuees are american. But, that really changed today. Tell us what you know. Reporter thats right. A Pentagon Spokesman revealed for the first time that only about 4,000 of the evacuees are american passport holders. That means the vast majority are afghan nationals, people who worked with the u. S. Over the past 20 years, and their family members. What we still dont know exactly, norah, is how many americans are left in afghanistan, who are still trying to get out. The president said today that his Secretary Of State will have some answers about that tomorrow. Odonnell President Biden promised, if there are any american citizens in afghanistan, Hell Stay to get them out. Nancy, Thank You. Well, tonight, the u. S.

Theyll stay here a few days before flying elsewhere, very likely the u. S. , to start a new life. Rahmat safari worked as an interpreter for u. S. Special forces. If you hadnt gotten out, you worked with u. S. Special forces, what would the taliban have done to you . They would have killed me right away.

Reporter major Greg Adams is now a civilian. From his home in seattle, he remotely guided rahmat, and other afghan interpreters, through the chaos at Kabuls Airport using text messages.

Thats why were working so hard to try to take care of them right now. Gunfire Reporter adams risked his life to fight the taliban, and says america now has a moral obligation to the afghans who helped. I dont necessarily question the decision to leave.
